Actuum Apostolorum 18

1 Post haec egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:

And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,

2 et inveniens quemdam Iudaeum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem eius, (eo quod praecepisset Claudius discedere omnes Iudaeos a Roma) accessit ad eos.

and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife — because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome — he came to them,

3 Et quia eiusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur: (erant autem scenofactoriae artis.)

and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft;

4 Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Iesu, suadebatque Iudaeis, et Graecis.

and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

5 Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Iudaeis esse Christum Iesum.

And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

6 Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego, ex hoc ad Gentes vadam.

and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken [his] garments, he said unto them, 'Your blood [is] upon your head — I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.'

7 Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cuiusdam, nomine Titi Iusti, colentis Deum, cuius domus erat coniuncta synagogae.

And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,

8 Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.

and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

9 Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:

And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, 'Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;

10 propter quod ego sum tecum: et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.

because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'

11 Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.

and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiae, insurrexerunt uno animo Iudaei in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,

And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,

13 dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.

saying — 'Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;'

14 Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Iudaeos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid, aut facinus pessimum o viri Iudaei, recte vos sustinerem.

and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, 'If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,

15 Si vero quaestiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, legis vestrae, vos ipsi videritis: Iudex ego horum nolo esse.

but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves [to it], for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,'

16 Et minavit eos a tribunali.

and he drave them from the tribunal;

17 Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogae, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curae erat.

and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.

18 Paulus vero cum adhuc sustinuisset dies multos, fratribus valefaciens, navigavit in Syriam, (et cum eo Priscilla, et Aquila) qui sibi totonderat in Cenchris caput: habebat enim votum.

And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria — and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas — having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;

19 Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Iudaeis.

and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews:

20 Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,

and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,

21 sed valefaciens, et dicens, Iterum revertar ad vos Deo volente, profectus est ab Epheso.

but took leave of them, saying, 'It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you — God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,

22 Et descendens Caesaream, ascendit, et salutavit Ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.

and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

23 Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galatiam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.

And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Iudaeus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.

And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus,

25 Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea, quae sunt Iesu, sciens tantum baptisma Ioannis.

this one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John;

26 Hic ergo coepit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.

this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and did more exactly expound to him the way of God,

27 Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his, qui crediderant.

and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace,

28 Vehementer enim Iudaeos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas, esse Christum Iesum.

for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
